 he Aasimar are seen as beacons of hope and light, having descended from
angelic beings, creatures who are a living part of the good-aligned Outer
Planes. While they are certainly inclined towards that behavior, courtesy
of their bloodline, they are not all good, nor are they all benevolent. Just
like other creatures they learn from their experiences, good and bad, and
shape their behavior accordingly. They do tend to become something of
social chameleons as they have no people to call their own, and often find
their homes among other races.

 YOU MIGHT…
• Get along with others, at the expense of
your own wellbeing.
• Believe the best about everyone.
• Carefully consider every option before
committing to a plan of any kind.
OTHERS PROBABLY…
• Think that you’re some sort of angel.
• Find it difficult to understand your
perspective on things, especially when it
comes to giving others a second chance.
• See you as too nice for your own good,
gullible, or feel that you talk to them in
the same manner that you would a child.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Aasimar stand around 6 feet tall, and a
powerful 150 pounds, lighter than a human
of the same build due to hollow, but strong
bones, though this can vary as aasimar
descended from gnomes or halflings stand
much shorter than those descended from
elves or humans.
Generally, the aasimar have clear skin and
regular, almost perfect features. They are
in good shape and resemble near perfect
specimens of their parent’s race. While
they resemble their parents, hidden in the
bloodline of the aasimar are traces of their
outsider progenitor.
The legacy of this angelic blood can manifest
in many ways. Some aasimar have a unique
eye or skin color, vestigial wings, or even a
visible halo. Only rarely do these reminders
of their celestial ancestors detract from the
beauty of the aasimar, instead lending them
8 an air of the divine.
Aasimar dress in bright colors, though they
take their cues from the culture of their
birth and the culture where they currently
live. Aasimar do not dress in bland clothes
unless trying to hide or fit in, but even then
they’ll find a bright color to accent their
outfit. Most aasimar wear their hair long
unless inconvenient, luxuriating in the feel
and loving the wind blowing through their
hair, sending it flying in a glorious, dazzling
display.
Aasimar age at the same pace as their
parent’s race, so an aasimar born to human
parents reaches the age of physical maturity
around the age of 15, though sometimes
they mature slightly slower. They live to
around the same time as their parents, so
an aasimar born to humans could expect to
live to be around 90, while one born to elven
parents would likely live to be around 600.

SOCIETY
Aasimar are raised within their parents
culture, and absorb the customs, preferences,
and prejudices of the society they’re raised
within. This means that any two aasimar
could have wildly divergent worldviews.
Due to their personal magnetism, and
their general ability to plan ahead, many
aasimar become leaders within their
societies, working as civic leaders, sheriffs,
and champions of a cause. They’ll put the
community first, a leftover from their celestial
origins, though whether that means working
within the accepted structure of any given
community or working to tear it down
depends on the aasimar in question. Even
in those communities that shun the aasimar,
they’ll become leaders, just of a very different
sort, being drawn to places where outcasts
gather and instead become a leader of them,
such as the master of a thieves’ guild.
ALIGNMENT & RELIGION
Aasimar are idealistic creatures, believing
in the good in all beings. They’ll go out of
their way to help the needy, but have no
preference as to whether they should do
so according to the law or by breaking the
system. As such, they tend to range from
lawful good to chaotic good. When it comes
to deities, aasimar worship the deities of
good, tending towards those that encourage
putting community and family above the
needs of the individual. Some engage in
ancestor worship, praying to their celestial
forebear, though these aasimar are rare.
NAMES
Aasimars do not have a separate tradition
of naming themselves, as they take the
names of the culture or society in which they
are raised. For most of them, due to their
obvious celestial nature, these names tend
to carry some form of positive meaning,
such as hope or love, in line with their
perceived nature at birth.
On occasion, aasimar will name themselves
and they will generally emulate the names of
their outsider forebears.
Sample Names
Aaidyn, Abi, Adonis, Adriel, Arthur, Breanna, 9
Caden, Caleb, Candace, Celeste, Chriss,
Dann, Darien, Diana, Edden, Eleanor, Evann,
Gabriel, Gaige, Galen, Maol, Rae, Sade,
Truth, Verity
 AASIMAR ADVENTURERS
Aasimar adventure to help others,
questing to rescue those in distress and
finding lost treasure or rediscovering
forgotten ruins in the process. In short,
they adventure out of a wish to assist
those in need and are spurred on by a
sense of wonder.

Typical backgrounds for an aasimar

include acolyte, barrister, emissary, noble,
and scholar. Aasimar often become bards
or sorcerers, drawing upon their innate
personal magnetism and strength, while
others draw upon their wise nature to
become clerics or druids.

With their varied ancestors and the history of

celestial interference in the lives of mortals,
it is no surprise that there are many types of
aasimar. Choose one of the following aasimar
heritages at 1st level.

Angelkin (Angel Heritage)

Angels were among the first creations
introduced to the multiverse, beautiful in
aspect, and tied by a strong moral code
to one deity or another. You carry these
traits deep within you. When you make a
Diplomacy check to make an impression, you
improve the degree of success by one step
when dealing with good-aligned creatures.
Idylkin (Agathion Heritage)
Agathions are animal-like celestials, and you
carry the physical marks of that heritage in
10 the form of markings, light fur, or feathered
ears. This gives you a supernatural ability to
communicate with and calm animals. You gain
a +1 circumstance bonus to Nature checks
when using the Command An Animal action.
Furthermore, you can use it on unfriendly
(though not hostile) animals.
Lawbringer (Archon Heritage)
Archons are paragons of law and good, they
are the enemies of all evil, fighting on the
front lines against the forces of evil outsiders
in particular. You’ve inherited some of the
abilities of your forebears, and whenever you
score a critical hit with a Melee Strike against
creatures with the evil and outsider traits,
they are stunned for one round.

Muse-touched
(Azata Heritage)
Azatas are the free spirits of the good-aligned
outsiders, roaming at will, and doing good
wherever the winds take them. Like your
ancestors, you’re difficult to tie down, and
you get a +1 circumstance bonus when using
the Escape action. Furthermore, all effects
that give you the paralyzed, petrified, or
stunned conditions are reduced by 1, down
to a minimum of 1. For example, if you’d get
stunned 2 from a spell, you only get stunned
1, or if suffer an effect with a duration of 1d6
rounds, it would now be 1d6–1.
At 1st level, you gain one ancestry feat, and
you gain an additional ancestry feat every
4 levels thereafter (at 5th, 9th, 13th, and
17th levels). As an aasimar, you select from
among the following ancestry feats.
1ST LEVEL
BLOOD OF THE FALLEN FEAT 1
AASIMAR
An ancestor of yours fell to the lure of evil
eons ago, which has partially corrupted your
bloodline. You can take tiefling racial feats,
and you gain the tiefling trait, in addition to
the aasimar and humanoid traits.
CELESTIAL MAGIC FEAT 1
AASIMAR
Your connection to the Outer Planes grants
you a divine innate spell, much like those of
angels. Choose one cantrip from the divine
spell list. You can cast this spell as a divine
innate spell at will. A cantrip is heightened
to a spell level equal to half your level,
rounded up.
CELESTIAL RESISTANCE FEAT 1
AASIMAR
You have a remarkable adaptation to hostile
environments from ancestors who inhabited
the outer planes. This grants you acid
resistance equal to half your level (minimum
1), and you gain the vestigial wings. These
11
are not strong enough to allow you to fly, but
you can use them to, as a reaction, cause a
strong wind in your square. This allows you
to dissipate spells and effects such as the
smoke created by a smokestick.
 DIVINE GRACE FEAT 1

AASIMAR
DIVINE GRACE

Trigger You are targeted by a spell that

allows a saving throw.
Your ancestor’s innate resistance to magic
surges, before slowly ebbing down. You gain
a +2 circumstance bonus to the triggering
saving throw.

EXTEND SHIELD FEAT 1

AASIMAR
EXTEND SHIELD

Trigger An ally within 5 feet is attacked

with a melee or ranged weapon.
You instinctively move your shield to protect
your ally. They gain your shield’s circumstance
bonus to AC against that attack only. You lose
the bonuses from the shield until the end of
your next turn and cannot use the Raise a
Shield action until the end of your next turn.

PIERCE THE DARKNESS FEAT 1

AASIMAR
Not all aasimar have the ability to see in the
dark, but you have inherited this ability from
your ancestors. You can see in darkness and
dim light just as well as you can see in bright
light. Unlike normal darkvision you can still
see colors, rather than being limited to black
and white.

5TH LEVEL
ANGELIC MAGIC FEAT 5

AASIMAR
Prerequisites at least one divine innate spell

Your connection to your ancestors and the

12 wellspring of magic grows stronger, and

you gain the ability to cast searing light
once per day.
SHIELD EXEMPLAR FEAT 5

AASIMAR
Prerequisites Armored Might
By now you’ve become a staunch defender,
and you are a formidable obstacle for
opponents to overcome, thanks to the
strong connections with your celestial
ancestors. As such, when you use the Raise
a Shield ability, you now apply the shield’s
circumstance bonus to your Reflex saves. For
example, if you have a wooden shield with a
+2 circumstance bonus to AC and you use
Raise a Shield, you get the +2 bonus to both
your AC and your Reflex saving throws.

BRIGHTEST DAY FEAT 5

AND DARKEST NIGHT

AASIMAR
Whenever you cast spells with the light trait
they are automatically heightened (+1). Such
spells also automatically increase the light
level in a 30-foot radius around you by one
step for one round. For example, if you cast
searing light in an area of darkness, then a
30-foot radius around you counts as dim
light for the following round.

FIEND SLAYER FEAT 5

AASIMAR
Within you beats the heart of an avenger,
you are an enemy of all that is wrong
with the multiverse. As such you gain a
+1 circumstance bonus to damage with
weapons and spells against creatures with
the fiend traits. If your attack would deal
more than one die of damage (as is common
at higher levels than 1st), the bonus is equal
to the number of weapon dice or spell attack
dice instead.

INCORRUPTIBLE FEAT 5

AASIMAR
You’ve inherited some of the nature of your
ancestors, making you incredibly difficult to
coerce. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus
to all saving throws against spells or effects
13
with the mental trait. If you roll a success on a
saving throw against a mental effect, you get
a critical success instead.
 SPIRIT OF THE POET FEAT 5

AASIMAR
You’re able to see the good in most people,
and you unconsciously show that appreciation
for them. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus
to Diplomacy checks against intelligent
good-aligned creatures, as long as you share
a language. You also gain this bonus on
Perception checks to Sense the Motives of
such creatures.

VESTIGIAL WINGS FEAT 5

AASIMAR
You sprout vestigial wings on your back, and
while these are not strong enough for you to
fly, they enable you to levitate for a number of
rounds equal to your level, per day. You cannot
levitate further than 10 feet above the ground.

9TH LEVEL
ARMORED MIGHT FEAT 9

AASIMAR
Prerequisites Shield Exemplar
One of your ancestors was on the front
lines of the war against evil, and your
blood connection with your ancestor grows
stronger as you experience more of the real
world. Through these experiences and the
power of your blood, you’ve learned to make
the most of armor. When wearing medium
or heavy armor, you reduce the Strength
requirement by 2 and Speed Penalty by 5
feet. For example, full plate normally reduces
your speed by –10 feet, but with this feat it
only reduces it by –5 feet or 0 feet if you fulfill
the Strength requirement, which is in turn
reduced to 16.

GUARDIAN OF LIFE FEAT 9

AASIMAR
14 Your connection to the good-aligned Outer
Planes has grown, and you become a conduit
of life. If you rest for 10 minutes, you can
designate a single ally. That ally gains Hit
Points equal to their Constitution modifier
x half your level. This healing is cumulative
with any healing they receive from other
sources.

HALO CROWN FEAT 9

AASIMAR
A halo appears around your head, taking the
shape of a crown, as a tangible reminder of
your majestic heritage. As an innate divine
spell, you can cast circle of protection once
per day. This only works against evil creatures.
Furthermore, any creatures with the fiend or
undead traits within the 10 feet radius of the
circle take 1d6 good damage each round
that they remain within the radius.

13TH LEVEL
CELESTIAL RAMPART FEAT 13

AASIMAR
Prerequisite Armored Might

Whenever you use the Raise a Shield action,

you provide cover for anyone behind you.
You count as standard cover for any ally
within 5 feet provided you are between
the enemy and the ally. You do not provide
cover for yourself when doing so, but you do
gain the normal benefits from Raise a Shield,
as usual.

SUFFER NOT THE UNCLEAN FEAT 13

AASIMAR
Prerequisites Halo Crown

Your Halo Crown now affects all evil

creatures, dealing 2d6 points of damage
to them while they’re within the radius (and
double damage to creatures with the fiend
or undead traits).

15

09–10 Your skin is a pale white, almost alabaster color, but you never get sunburned.

25–26
you.

alive with figures to match your tale.

53–54
underlining them. 17

55–56
turns silver.

57–58
surrounds you.
 59–60 Your hair moves of its own accord, matching your mood.

Your arms and hands leave glowing contrails when you move. The contrails

 ieflings, in the eyes of many, are a travesty against nature. They’re the
combination of “regular” humanoids, usually humans, and fiendish
creatures who at some point left their mark on mortal life, either through
corruption or direct procreation. Tieflings are more common in societies
who tend towards evil, as fiendish creatures are more tolerated there.
Elsewhere, they’re often ostracized for their nature, as everyone around
them automatically assume that they are evil.

Tieflings see themselves as the victim of some cosmic joke

or cruel prank. They’re marked by the deeds of a foolish
ancestor who engaged with powers beyond the ken of
mortals. Now, the tieflings carry the scars of that liaison
physically, as a brand of shame. They’re not the same as their
fiendish ancestors and they retain the ability of most mortals
to shape their own destiny, though many succumb to the lure
of darkness. Few break the shackles of their fiendish heritage
and gain divinity.

SOCIETY
Tieflings are not considered to be a part of
the society in which they grew up, due to
their fiendish ancestry. They’re often bullied
as children because they “look funny,”
which can turn into fear and resentment
as the tiefling grows older. As such, any
given tiefling rarely stays where they grew
up, choosing instead to wander the world,
or settle elsewhere. There are civilizations
and societies—the ones that turn to devil-
worship and the like—that consider tieflings
to be blessed. As such, any one tiefling
could be relegated to a different social class
depending on where they are, ranging from
beggar or slave, to veneration as a god.

Tieflings rarely join up with others of their kind,

as they do not have much in common, apart
from the foolishness of some long-forgotten
ancestor, but when they do they create their
own “society within society.” These take the
form of clubs or societies, kept secret from
non-tieflings. These social organizations are
run and ruled by tieflings whose forebears
leaned towards lawful behaviour. Chaotic
tieflings tend to create murderous cults with
other evil tieflings, while those who lean
towards good join or incite rebellions against

ALIGNMENT & RELIGION
Tieflings, by their very nature, tend toward
evil. While they have the free will and
freedom of choice of most mortal creatures,
their fiendish blood draws forth their darkest
tendencies. Tieflings have no particular
inclinations towards law or chaos, in general,
but the legacy of their ancestors influences
them. As such, a descendant of a devil would
tend towards lawful, while one descended
from a demon would have a chaotic bend.

While not overly religious on a whole,

some tieflings are drawn towards the
divine, seeing in the gods an opportunity
to redeem and better themselves. These
tieflings can become strong believers
in divine providence. In particular, gods
that espouse a forgiving dogma or which
teach redemption and betterment through
trials of life have a great following among
tiefling believers. Gods that teach revenge,
violence, and destruction have a small but
strong following among evil tieflings.

NAMES
Tieflings take names from the societies in
which they were born or live. Sometimes
these names are common first and last
names and on occasion they are nicknames
(though not always nice ones).

Tieflings that have thrown off the mantle of

the societies in which they were born take
names of their own choosing, though they
avoid last names. Chosen names tend to be
guttural with plenty of hissing, an ironic nod
to their dark ancestry, which some tieflings
cannot resist.

Sample Names
Allizah, Baru, Dellisar, Endie, Gorgron,
Hessh, Indranna, Kasidra, Maldrek, 25
Maris, Mellisan, Molos, Mordren,
Nisha, Nokven, Sarvin, Shoremoth,
Sushvenneh, Temerith, Voren, Zoren.
 TIEFLING ADVENTURERS
Tieflings adventure for power and the
opportunity to further themselves, and for
a rare few, to experience companionship
amongst those that accept them for who
they are on the inside, rather than their
fiendish exterior.

Typical backgrounds for a tiefling include

artist, charlatan, criminal, hermit, and
prisoner. Tieflings often become wizards
or sorcerers who draw upon their natural
fonts of magic, though a great many
of the tieflings become rogues, fully
embracing their darker sides.

With their varied ancestors and the history of

fiendish interference in the lives of mortals,
it is no surprise that there are many types of
tieflings. Choose one of the following tiefling
heritages at 1st level.

Grimspawn (Daemon
Heritage)
Grimspawn hail from Daemon stock. They’re
often fascinated by sickness, decay, and
death in all forms. They are extremely thin,
with sallow skin and milky white, dead, eyes.
You gain a +1 status bonus to saves against
diseases. In addition, if you roll a critical
failure on a save against a disease, you get
a failure instead.

Pitborn (Demon Heritage)

Pitborn vary immensely in size and stature,
26 with no constant between them. Even the
pitborn themselves vary daily between 1
and 2 inches in height and up to 5 pounds
gained or lost. This instability and chaos is
inherent in the pitborn, coming from your
demonic ancestors. You’re constantly restless
and notoriously difficult to control. You
gain a +1 circumstance bonus to all saving
throws against spells and effects with the
incapacitation or mental traits. If you roll a
success on a saving throw against an effect
with both the incapacitation and mental
effects, you get a critical success instead.

Hellspawn (Devil Heritage)

Hellspawn tend to be tall and muscular, and
often have large horns, though these are
not used in combat. You always keep a cool
head, calmly assessing a situation, before
unleashing a storm of violence. Because
of your level-headedness, you make an
effective leader, though others might find
your methods ruthless.

Survey the Scene

Prerequisite must take place on the first

round of combat

You survey the terrain and the combatants,

and issue orders to your allies. All allies within
20 feet of you gain a +1 circumstance bonus
to attack rolls and damage rolls for their next
round only.

Gobmaws (Barghest Heritage)

The gobmaws are a very particular type of
tiefling, the result of crossing barghests with
goblins. They’re far shorter and lighter than
most tieflings, with a wiry build, and outsized
mouths that give them a terrifying grin.

Toxic Breath

Frequency once per day

You let out a cloud of toxic gas that affects

anyone within a 20-foot cone for a number
of rounds equal to half your level. The target
becomes sickened 1 unless it succeeds on a 27
DC 10 + ½ your level Fortitude save. Success
means that the target is only sickened for one
round.
 At 1st level, you gain one ancestry feat, and
you gain an additional ancestry feat every 4
levels thereafter (at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th
levels). As a tiefling, you select from among
the following ancestry feats.

1ST LEVEL
BLOOD OF THE RISING FEAT 1

TIEFLING
Your ancestors eventually overcame the lure
of evil, which has partially cleansed your
bloodline. You can take aasimar racial feats,
and you gain the aasimar trait, in addition to
the tiefling and humanoid traits.

FIENDISH MAGIC FEAT 1

TIEFLING
Your connection to the Outer Planes grants
you a divine arcane spell, much like those of
fiends. Choose one cantrip from the arcane
spell list. You can cast this spell as an arcane
innate spell at will. The cantrip is heightened
to a spell level equal to half your level,
rounded up.

FIENDISH RESISTANCE FEAT 1

TIEFLING
You have a remarkable adaptation to hot
environments from ancestors who inhabited
the outer planes. This grants fire resistance
equal to half your level (minimum 1), and you
gain horns. These add an extra die to any
unarmed damage rolls that you make.

INTIMIDATING PRESENCE FEAT 1

28 TIEFLING
You know that your fiendish presence is
unsettling to others and you use that to your
advantage. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus
on Intimidation checks whenever dealing
with creatures who are good or neutral.

OUTLANDER FEAT 1

TIEFLING
Knowledge and subterfuge runs through
your veins. You gain the trained proficiency
rank in Arcana or Occultism, and Stealth. If
you would automatically become trained in
one of those skills (from your background
or class, for example), you instead become
trained in a skill of your choice.

SUPREME SORCERY FEAT 1

TIEFLING
Magic burns within you. Choose one magic
school. Treat all spells from the arcane list with
that school as heightened (+1). For example,
if you cast fireball as an arcane spell, and
you’ve selected evocation as your school, it
does an extra 2d6 points of fire damage.

5TH LEVEL
DARK MAGIC FEAT 5

TIEFLING
Prerequisites at least one arcane innate
spell

Your connection to your ancestors and the

wellspring of magic grows stronger, and you
gain the ability to cast flaming sphere once
per day.

EYES OF EVIL FEAT 5

TIEFLING
You’ve learned to channel the dark energy
of your fiendish ancestors into a useful tool.

Eyes of Evil

Once per day, by focusing your attention on

a single target, you infuse them with intense 29
paranoia causing them to second-guess
their every move. The target must succeed
on a DC 10 + ½ your level Will save or be
frightened 2.
 HALO OF FIRE FEAT 5

TIEFLING
Prerequisites Fiendish Resistance

You’ve become more in touch with your dark

blood, and have learned to manifest a fiery halo.

Halo of Fire

Trigger when you deal damage with a melee

weapon

You cause your halo of fire to flare. This deals

1d6 fire damage to your target. This increases
to 2d6 fire damage on a critical success.

SPIKED TAIL FEAT 5

TIEFLING
With time, you’ve grown a spiked tail, and
it has become a formidable weapon in your
arsenal. You gain a tail unarmed attack that
deals 1d6 piercing damage. Your tails is in
the brawling group and has the finesse and
unarmed traits.

THE COMING DARKNESS FEAT 5

TIEFLING
Prerequisites at least one arcane innate spell
Whenever you cast a spell with the darkness
trait the spell is automatically heightened
(+1). If it has a duration, it is doubled.

9TH LEVEL
BASK IN MY GLORY FEAT 9

TIEFLING
One of your fiendish ancestors was one of
the higher-ups from the Lower Planes, a
minor lord in their own right. You’ve learned
to project that authority.

Bask in My Glory

30 Trigger whenever you have a critical success

You inspire all allies within 20 feet to
greatness. They gain a +1 circumstance
bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, and skill
checks for the following round.
ORATORY OF SOULS FEAT 9

TIEFLING
Prerequisites Intimidating Presence
You’ve learned to project the power of your
convictions onto others. Whenever you make
someone helpful by Making an Impression
with the Diplomacy skill, you can automatically
cast suggestion on them, as an innate arcane
spell. If they fail the saving throw, the spell
takes effect as normal, but a successful saving
throw does not let the target know that they
have been subjected to a spell.

THE DARK DEPTHS FEAT 9

TIEFLING
Prerequisites at least one innate arcane spell
Over time, your connection to the Lower
Planes has grown, as has your magical power.
You gain the ability to cast chilling darkness
once per day as an innate arcane spell.

13TH LEVEL
LIFE HOLDER FEAT 13

TIEFLING
Your grasp on life means that you are very
hard to kill, refusing to let your spirit pass into
the Lower Planes.

Life Holder

Trigger whenever you fall to 0 hp

You will your body to start knitting itself
together, as you take a deadly wound. Once
per day, when reduced to 0 hp (ignoring any
further damage), you immediately stabilize
and you’re healed for 1d8 + your Constitution
modifier Hit Points, as if you were the recipient
of a heal spell.

RIVER OF SOULS FEAT 13

TIEFLING
Your very presence weakens the borders
between the planes, and makes it easier for
souls to pass on to the afterlife. Any non-
31
ally who receives the dying condition within
30 feet of you is automatically affected by
doomed 1 and dies at dying 3 instead of
dying 4. This counts as a death effect.
